to run, not walk;And that, too, makes my memory talk In a quiet way,Of how we escaped the shower that day. 71 POEMS FROM LIFES EXPERIENCE IN THE FOREST Roaming idly in the forest In the leafy month of June,Is a charm that yvraps the senses. When all nature is in tune.Beautiful in early morning Just to wander, careless, free.In the silence that is broken Only by the melodyOf the happy, joyous songsters. Praise of nature they intoneFar above the danger region, Each a king upon his throne. Sit upon the bank and listen While the brook across your pathRipples soft, and sunlight arrows Shoot a beauteous aftermath.Watch the branches gently swaying, Bowing to the summer breeze;See the ights and shadows playing. Woodland fairies mid the trees.Then look upward through the rifting. See Jie glorious azure blueHovermg over little cloudlets, Tiny cloudlets, white and new.You will love her kindly wooing, Feel the grasp of Natures hand,Giving you the strength for doing. Acting, meeting lifes demand.

POEMS FROM LIFES EXPERIENCE ONE SUMMER NIGHT Breaking gently in milky foam.Then returning, again to come;Constant never.Coqueting ever.Trimming with lace the curving shore,With silver fringing it oer and oer:Thus did the waves, one summer night,While we watched them play in the mellow ligiit The moon looked down on an opal sea,WHiich softly sang a lullaby;Born of the spirit of sad unrest,Flashing the diamonds on its breast. O, never a fairer sight was seenThan met our gaze that summer een;The long white reachOf the sandy beach,Bathed in a marvelous pearly light,Beckoned us on through the beauteous night;It seemed like a walk on the Heavenly shore.By the boundless sea of the Evermore Twas a night to live in memory. Just the fairest picture there, To calm the troubled spirit. Like the breath of an angels prayer. A haze, like the rainbows shadow,Crept down the arched sky.Weaving with warp of moonlight A royal canopy,Whose folds were pinned with starlights,Whose beauty draped the sea,And
